Lexmark X2650 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark X2650 Printer Review

The Lexmark X2650 is a multifunction inkjet printer designed with home and small office users in mind. It offers fast print speeds, up to 22 pages per minute for black and 16 pages per minute for color and has excellent scan and copy functions that are very easy to use. Lexmark X2650 ink is expensive and may nullify the upfront savings, however.

Buyers who want to have print, copy and scan functions in a single machine with a compact size will like the Lexmark X2650's feature set. It measures 11.3 inches by 17 inches by 19.9 inches even with its trays extended, so it won't take up a lot of space in the office. It also weighs only 10.7 pounds. The machine can function as a standalone copy machine, and 1-touch buttons on the control panel make it easy to initiate a copy job. Scanning quality is excellent, and the software includes optical character recognition, allowing users to turn a scanned document into editable text, which is perfect for archiving paper documents.

Printer ink is always a big part of the cost of any machine, and Lexmark X2650 ink is fairly expensive. With a capacity of only around 150 pages, Lexmark X2650 ink cartridges have a very high cost per page. Using third-party compatible printer ink will help keep costs lower, but printers with higher page yields will be a more economical choice in the long run.

User reviews of the Lexmark X2650 are fairly negative. While users like its affordable price and design, many complain of its high ink usage and high ink costs. One user notes that Lexmark X2650 ink cartridges cannot be refilled, which would help keep costs lower.

Overall, the Lexmark X2650 is a well-designed machine for a very low price, but its expensive operating costs reduce its value. Buyers should compare its cost of ownership to other machines to define its true value.
